Data Set Overview:

Integrated DataSets in netcdf format, at one-second time resolution, have been composed for each of the VOCALS C-130 Research Flights based on data from the three cloud remote sensors on the C-130. These flights occurred between Oct, 15, 2008-Nov. 15, 2008, in the southeast Pacific stratocumulus region.
Below is a sample header file from one of the C-130 research flight WCRWCLGVR 1Hz datasets, 
as of June 20, 2011. These files contain basic aircraft position and thermodynamic data, derived variables from the Wyoming Cloud Radar (e.g., max dBZ within the column, dBZ at selected altitudes, radar-derived cloud top, radar drizzle detection), Wyoming Cloud Lidar (e.g., cloud base), and liquid water path from a G-band Vapor Radiometer. An additional variable is an adiabatic liquid water path derived from the lidar/radar cloud boundaries. 

The Wyoming Cloud Lidar is described in:
Wang, Z., Wechsler, P., Kuestner, W., French, J., Rodi, A., Glover, B., Burkhart, M., and Lukens, D.: Wyoming Cloud Lidar: instrument description and applications, Opt. Ex., 17, no. 16, 2009.

The GVR LWPs are described in:

(ACPD VOCALS Special Issue, under review for ACP).

We request that the use of this data be acknowledged within any publication and the appropriate contact person notified. Use of the GVR data should also include a citation to the publication mentioned above, to the final ACP article once it's accepted.

These Integrated Datasets may continue to be updated from time to time.
